They also reported a motorist who notified them about an unknown object that shattered the windshield of her car.

The incident happened shortly before 7:30 a.m. Tuesday on The Old Road, according to the CHP.

High winds also prompted the Los Angeles County Fire Department to bring in more firefighters.

“We have increased additional staffing in areas prone to brush fires,” said Fire Department Inspector Scott Miller, identifying one of those areas as the Santa Clarita Valley. “We have additional resources on hand as well, including water tankers.”

“There’s a possibility for fire with strong winds and a critically dry fuel bed,” he said.

As well, fire crews with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection were put on high alert due to high winds, according a news release issued by the department office in Sacramento.

“With gusty dry winds forecast for Southern California, Cal Fire has increased its staffing and is urging the public to be extra cautious as fire danger heightens,” department Director Ken Pimlott said in a statement.

“The drought has set the stage for a very dry and potentially dangerous fire season,” he said. “Fire season never really ended last year in Southern California, and these strong winds will only elevate the current fire risk.”
